Perfect Isnt True

The world in The Giver is not perfect because nothing can really be perfect. It is almost impossible to think of a perfect world, and if you do there will always be a flaw in one way or another to someone. The world can never truly satisfy the needs of everyone. As Hannah Montana once said, “Nobody’s perfect”, I guess she was talking about

In the story everyone is colorblind so no one can choose different colors and have no opinion, they also have the same bike and clothes. If you are a girl you have to wear a ribbon in your hair until you are nine and then once your ribbon gets taken out of your hair you get a jacket. For instance, “ ”Our people made the choice, the choice to go to sameness. Before my time, before the previous time, back and back and back. We relinquished color when we relinquished sunshine and did away with differences.” He thought for a moment. “We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others” “ (124). One of the problems with the community having sameness is that the newborn children could never experience sunshine or snow, but they never have to experience pain or starvation. They feel, wear, and look the same, the community will never feel different, but the only difference is their age and little accessories. For example ,“ It’s the way they live. It’s the life that was created for them. It’s the same life that you would have, if you had not been chosen as my successor” (192). Jonas and the community’s whole life has been controlled by elders. They have never been able to make their own choices without the elders. This represents how sameness appears to be the antagonist and how they can never be

What would it feel like living in a world which everyone is same and the life is monotone?In “The Giver”,written by Lois Lowry,there’s a community based on perfection and the citizens who have strict and ethic rules to prevent their community from becoming unethical and unequal.Lowry conveyed her ideas both with in advantages and disadvantages,and the diversity which citizens in the community have lost.

A true utopia requires sacrifices many people cannot condone. This fact has been shown throughout The Giver. The community decides to sacrifice many things to come to Sameness. Pain, individuality and love are among many things that they have sacrificed (Lowry 124). These sacrifices made the community Jonas lived in seemingly perfect; there is no hunger, no war, no pain, no one will ever be alone. But, a perfect community is completely unrealistic. That is why they have The Giver, the person that knows all the imperfections of the society and help the society to achieve perfection.

The setting of The Giver takes place in a fictional community known as the “Sameness”. Life here is supposed to be "perfect" because there is no pain or suffering. They don’t have to take

A society that is perfect, where everything is equal and everyone is happy, where there’s

In this world, people are required to use “precise” language, which can have many evil effects on them. People do not have access to true information, which make it impossible for them to take control of their own lives. Marriage and children system is controlled by the government, which causes lack of feeling of love in people. Compared to the world of The Giver, the real world is a much better place. People know that they have rights, exercise their rights, and even rise to protect their rights when they are violated. It is not impossible for this world to turn into a world similar to the world of The Giver, where people lose their rights and humanness, so we should treasure the condition in which we live

Both ‘Pleasantville’ directed by Gary ross and ‘The Giver’ written by Lois Lowry clearly demonstrate that a perfect society is impractical. No matter how hard you try, the issues that break down a society will only resurface and ruin the perfect society. A utopian society would not be possible to sustain because Each person has a different idea of a utopian society, People also must feel sad to feel happy, the people of a utopian society don’t have freedom and finally People in the book are deprived of privacy. These are just some of the reasons why a utopian society is unrealistic.

Our world has love, hate, passion, anger and fear. All our emotions change the way we act and how other people act, negatively or positively. In the book, The Giver, written by Lois Lowery, a perfect world is created where there are no emotions nor color. Could you give up emotions for a perfect society? The Giver makes readers ask the question what the perfect society is, providing symbolism, like a sled, color and an important character, Gabriel.

In the book, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, a young boy named Jonas lives in a community of Sameness, where all memories of color, joy, and sadness have been eliminated from the citizen’s daily lives, and where freedom of choice has been deemed, “definitely not safe”(Lowry 98). Suddenly, though, Jonas’s life spirals out of control when he becomes the Receiver of Memory. He is charged with the job of receiving all past occurrences, both good and bad. Finally, he decides that joy and love are emotions that need to be shared, and flees the community, resulting in the return of the memories. This dystopian setting puts many restrictions on available information, citizens’ personal lives, and changes the way deaths are handled, and is very different from the society in which we live.

Others would argue that a perfect world is a false paradise, one that robs people of their individuality. People are supposed to be different. These topics are discussed in The Giver and Uglies. Both authors demonstrate that the power of technology would one day harm society. The two novels are both based in an utopian society which would eventually becomes a major problem that ruins their perfect little worlds.

Would the society in “the giver” be a Utopia or Dystopia ? the society is a dystopia because there is sameness, surveillance,and control.

Therefore, these "perfect" people of a "perfect" society, live, lifeless, in their cellophaned world. They do not grow ugly and fat with age, they never experience hunger or discomfort or fear, yet the only happiness they feel is a simulation, an illusion.

In conclusion, this is very Utopian idea, but if it is in our means to make a society that is as close to perfect as we can, that makes everyone equal and truly free, why in the world would be not strive for

In their perfect society they we the same in every way they were the same with no memories or feelings, they were trapped, “We gained control of many things. But we had to let others go (lowry 95).” I mean everyone else is doing it right? The book The Giver Jonas challenges samenes, lack of memories and lack of empathy because he wants people to experience life without being trapped.
